CALL FOR ENTRIES: Attention schools and teachers, it's that time of year again when the Humane Society of Pulaski County hosts
it's annual "Be Kind to Animals" Student Art Contest. The purpose of the contest is to get children to notice and think about caring for
animals and to help to keep the arts alive in our schools and homes.
EXHIBITION RULES: Deadline is March 31, 2014
Age Categories: The art competition is free to enter and open to any Arkansas student in grades kindergarten - 12th grade. Last year's
contest saw over 800 individual entries, and an increase in the number of public, private and home school participants. Though there
is no entry fee, there are prizes and cash awarded to each of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.
Media and Size: The artwork may vary from crayon and finger paints, pen and ink to acrylics, oils, pastels to multimedia. Entries
should be on paper no larger than 11 X 17 and should not be mounted.
Theme: Artwork should reflect the theme, "Be Kind to Animals" and may include people and/or animals in a humane, engaging, and
positive manner. Artwork may include a slogan or a few words explaining the theme. Consider topics such as proper pet care, pet
over-population, concern for wildlife and endangered species, careers in animal work, adopting homeless pets, spay/neuter, etc.

Art Advice: Make it colorful. Fill up the whole page. Feel free to write a slogan on the picture. Our Animal Art Contest for children
is a fantastic way to spread the message of love for animals. What does Being Kind to Animals mean to you? Maybe it's spay or
neuter your pets, identifying your pets with tags, never tolerate animal cruelty. Draw a picture about it and you could win.
